Okey-Dokey. /data it is!
I just want to say thanks for this project. I was able to follow your direction you laid out and got everything up and running with several of the one click addons I have been wanting to use. Again, thanks and great work.

At the risk of asking a stupid question: is there an EZ-start script for Mac?
I only see Linux and Windows mentioned.
I'm up for installing manually but the EZ-start method seems so elegant 
The EZ-Start process works from the command line on MacOS as well.
Thanks!
The EZ-Start script worked great on my Mac mini.
The first few times I ran the script I got an error that the -d was an unknown flag...it turned out to be extra characters in the command string and once I re-entered the script on a single line it worked perfectly.
Thanks @bnhf for this great project!

I installed the ezstart late last year to replace my piece-meal setup. I'm not sure if I had a problem before, but definitely since. when my win11 server reboots, portainer fails to start. a restart of docker fixes (or manually starting portainer and restarting other stacks).
I can't find anything in logs, and I see no sign of db corruption as just restarting docker fixes.
before I script a ps to restart docker a minute after boot I thought I'd ask here for help since gemini want's to fix problems I don't have.
Sounds like you might need to delay starting the docker service on bootup.
One solution found in a search Q&A: How Do I Delay the Start of my Windows Service? | The Core Technologies Blog
after my earlier post I did remember the delay option in services so I went there and docker was set to manual. I changed to automatic and rebooted. portainer again failed to start, checked services again to set delayed start, but it had reverted back to manual.
I'm going to turn off Start Docker Desktop when you sign in to your computer in the docker gui and try the service again.
so this needs to stay on. the service is not actually running in the background all the time. having the service running does not mean the docker engine is running.
back to square1
edit; to be clear this does not have to do with windows booting. it can be fully booted, but the first time docker starts, it cannot/will not start portainer.
also portainer is set to restart always
